His Grace Bishop Iinej of Backa presided at the Holy Hierarchal Liturgy on the feast of the Synaxis of the Holy Archangel Gabriel, in the St. George's Church in Novi Sad on 13/26. July 2020.

-God does not deny the freedom he has given us and never imposes Himself on anyone. That is why faith is needed. If we were enslaved and forced to accept the Lord, then there would be no faith, no deed, no participation along the way of our salvation. The Lord saves us by performing economia of Salvation, He is the One Who is the Savior, but not without us, and especially not against us.

Jovan Marakas: Father Dzomic is not a threat for the national security of Montenegro

Only naïve people could think that persecution of protopresbyter staurophore Dr. Velibor Dzomic is related to his alleged organizing of demonstrations, which are legal in the civilized world.

It is true that Father Dzomic is a threat, but for the ignorant and counterfeiters since no one is nearly as well informed as him about the relationship between the Church and the State in Montenegro. Therefore, he is a threat for all of them, particularly for the destructive pseudo-religious organization aiming at destruction of Orthodoxy, the pseudo-organization which was verified at the police station and which has never existed in the history of Montenegro.

A Recommendation of the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral:

Liturgies to be served on the occasion of the change of the identity of the Church of St. Sophia!

On the occasion of the new change of Christian religious identity and purpose of the Great Church of St. Sophia, of the Wisdom of God, in Constantinople - the Mother church of all our churches and one of the most important Christian shrines in the world - in all parishes and monasteries  of our Metropolitanate the Holy Liturgy will be served on Friday, July 24, 2020, and at the evening service on the same day, the Akathist is to be read in honor of the Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, whereas the bells will toll in all the churches.
